Sobre este artículo
New York and London: D. Appleton-Century Company, Inc., 1947. First edition. Small abrasion to front paste down, a nearly fine copy in a very good to nearly fine dust jacket with mild wear to the corner tips and spine ends, light foxing to the verso with some mild bleed through at spine, some soiling and tanning to the rear panel. Spine panel is not faded. (10341). Octavo, cloth. A dark novel set in Goodis's Philadelphia. "...this is a new presentation of the she-devil which combines the sensual and the sensational in fairly tense melodrama. The woman here is Clara Ervin, cold in calculation, warm in physical indulgence, whose past criminal record is concealed in her monotonous, middle-class marriage to George Ervin. With a liking for luxury, for quieter forms of torture which she imposes on George and his daughter, Evelyn, Clara's dominance extends to the outside world as she appropriates one of Evelyn's young men, Leonard Halvery, becomes his mistress, indirectly causes his manslaughter of George, meets her mastery only in death... Successful, in this particular specialty of crime by violence." - Kirkus review 1 October 1947.
